Viper trainees in pressure suits (TOS: "Lost Planet of the Gods, Part I").

A pressure suit, worn beneath the Colonial Warrior uniform, allows a pilot to survive the g-forces that can be achieved by flying a Viper (TOS: "Lost Planet of the Gods, Part I").

Single black wires connect between the black bands of the beige jumpsuit, and a small circuit board with two wires is attached to the black band above the right kneecap. Presumably the circuit board connects to the leg computer on the outside of the Warrior's uniform.
